Hypercoagulability After Resection of Thoracic Malignancy: A Prospective Evaluation

Abstract

Rates of venous thromboembolism are increased in thoracic malignancy; however, coagulation patterns are not established. We hypothesize that patients with esophageal and lung malignancy have similar hypercoagulable pre‐ and postoperative profiles as defined by rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM).
